Circle has launched a new permissionless solution called Circle Gateway, enabling gas-free USDC transfers down to $0.000001, effectively shifting the landscape from traditional micropayments to agentic nanopayments designed for AI agents and high-frequency payouts. This solution supports various innovative models including usage-based billing and machine-to-machine compensation, thus fostering the development of programmable internet commerce. Currently, a private beta is open for developers interested in building applications around these agentic nanopayment systems.
